Looking Back on 10 Years at 3711 Market

Since 2009, the Science Center has called 3711 Market Street home. Almost ten years later, we’re preparing to start the next chapter two doors down at 3675 Market Street. As we write our last blog post from the 8th floor of 3711, we’re looking back on the memories and milestones. You might just spot yourself in one of the photos!

1. Grand Opening for 3711 Market, 2009

2. Launching the RAIN Conference in 2009, and hosting it every year since!
